Countdown to Construction!

The renovation for Waterford at Fair Oaks is 9 weeks away! The front entrance of Waterford at Fair Oaks is going to be transformed into an elegant entrance with columns and a permanent structure. This new entrance will be great for photo ops, easier access to the building in inclement weather, greater visibility from the road, and an over all better look for Waterford at Fair Oaks.

Here is a photo of the current entrance:

Here is an artist's creation of what the new entrance will look like!
Construction is scheduled for January 15 through March 15.

Linens - Ways to save on linens and make your reception look AWESOME!

Colored linens definitely look great for any event. However, when you take a full length round linen and multiple by your number of tables (plus the head table, cake table, place card, etc), it can get costly! Here are some ideas to add colors with linens to your tables without breaking a budget!

The sashes on chair covers always add color, however, people sit in these chairs the whole time and look at the tables (not the chairs), added a colored napkin instead will give them something pretty to look at when they sit down! If napkins are delivered to Waterford at Fair Oaks before your reception, we will fold them and have them ready to go for your BIG DAY!*Colored floor length linens look great until the total comes - what about a table overlay instead? It adds just the right amount of color, PLUS Waterford also already includes your table linens.

*Don't like the look of table overlays? How about table runners? Table runners give a splash of color through the middle of your table and always look great!

(As a side note, when choosing your linens, do not worry about the colors in the carpet, no one will be looking there at your reception...)

Here are some pictures from events with specialty linens at Waterford at Fair Oaks!

Tasty Food @ Waterford at Fair Oaks

Waterford at Fair Oaks (and Waterford at Springfield) prepares some of the best food in the area! Our Chef, Chef Michael Rogers, has created a wonderful menu for both our plated/sit-down meals and our buffets (the most popular service at Waterford at Fair Oaks).

Food tastings (which are included with ALL our wedding packages) are scheduled with our Chefs on Wednesdays and Thursdays. All of our tastings are private tastings with a sales person and a Chef. Our food ALWAYS tastes just as good (if not better because you've waited for it so long) as it did at the tasting.

Below are some of the popular items served on our buffet.


Chicken Piccata - our number 1 dish on EVERY menu.











Three Peppercorn Strip Loin - this is a carved item for the buffet. The most popular buffet beef!
